Onboarding

Success Starts Here

You’ve spent considerable time and resources to find the right person and if you don’t get this next part right, your retention efforts may be very difficult or fail all together. Research shows that successful onboarding significantly reduces employee turnover, increases productivity and boosts morale. Yet, surprisingly, many employers offer little to no formalized orientation process.

Investing in a well-planned orientation program helps support positive working relationships - and your bottom line. Depending on your business, onboarding may take an hour or last several days.

Know your new employee. Getting to know your new hire, where they come from, an understanding of their cultural needs and norms, what holidays are observed and what additional supports that may be needed, will be critical to ensuring the new hire finds a sense of belonging in your organisation. Sensitivity and adaptability will be the key to your retention success if you onboard correctly.

  • Introduce your company, its culture, values, vision and policies.

Integrating People with Disabilities into the Workplace

The Sask Abilities Council helps interested employers tap into and hire people with disabilities through workplace training sessions. Some of these discussions start at the earliest steps of the recruitment process, including what kind of questions to ask (and not to ask), how to ensure an inclusive interview process, and other recruitment tips.
